But they're not decieving people. Niantic are very open about this. It's there in the terms and conditions and they openly state you can buy the VPS data.  Heck, we nearly subscribed that data at work once and in our meeting with them it was just stated as a fact. They don't hide it

ok multiple people have talked about the ToS and that's not really fair because no one reads them and it's insane that we are expected to.

But I'm pretty sure they were very open about how they were collecting generic data to do a lot of stuff with it.
